This document outlines the results of analysis of the results of a survey sent to people who had attended the adaptation futures conference in 2018. The goal is to assess how research into high end climate change (HECC, ie. Anything to do with warming of greater than 2 degrees) has changed since the same survey was taken two years previously. We also look into how the responses compare between different types of organisations and different locations using various techniques.
There were 198 responses to the AF2018 Survey.
Note that due to extreme outliers only response times of over 5 minutes and under 90 minutes are considered here. (37 responses omitted)
The mean response time of these respondents was 19 minutes 6 seconds The minimum response time was 5 minutes 8 seconds The maximum response time was 84 minutes 32 seconds
## NULL
The chi-square test finds the probability (p) of the distribution of answers to a question remaining the same in 2018 as it was in 2016. Note: This assumes the data is categorical with no repeat answers, so we assume the people answering the survey are not the same in 2016 as in 2018. This is reasonable in a sample size as large as ours.
The Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test tests whether there has been a general shift in opinion rather than a change in the proportions of people falling into categories.
Neither test finds a significant difference in responses for this question.

Both the chi-square and WMW tests show a significant shift to disagreement with this statement, with both strongly disagree and disagree increasing in proportion greatly, with these numbers cominng from the neutral category, as the the agree and strongly agree category are largely unchanged.

This plot shows that while the proportions of neutral, agree and strongly agree have only decreased slightly, there has a been a significant increase in the strongly disagree proportion and a large reduction in the diagree proportion. It seems people disagree more strongly in 2018 than 2016 and the WMW test shows that this shift is statistically significant.

We see a significant shift from the agree and neutral categories to the disagree category with the extremities changing very little giving a significant result from the chi-square test, however the WMW test finds no significant evidence of an overall shift in opinion.

The Chi-square test has found a significant difference in questions 18.1 (p = 1.812e-05), 18.2(p = 0.0009099), 19.1(p = 0.01172) and 19.2(p = 0.04834). There is a possible issue in 18.2 where too few (3) people selected “strongly agree” to be sure the approximations made in the test are accurate, though much literature says that as long as the number is greater than 1, the approximation is good enough in a large sample.
The Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test has found a significant difference in questions 18.1 (p-value = 0.0001868), 18.2 (p-value = 0.0008766) with responses to both of these questions becoming more negative in 2018 than they were in 2016.
Respondents belonging to entities “Government”, “Government agency” and “Public policy” are categorised as “Gov Related” and are compared to those belonging to the “Research organization” category. Note: Available responses were “Government agency”, “Research organization”, “consultancy”, “NGO”, “Government”, “Business” and “Public policy”.
Both the chi-square and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests show no evidence that respondents from Governmental and research organizations answered the HECC questions differently.

We combine “We are starting to” and “Occasionally” into an “In between” category for Q17.1/2, and combine the 5-point likert scales into 3 in the obvious way. This also shows no statistically significant differences between Government and Research organisations in both the chi-square and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests.

The chi-square test shows a significant difference in answers to Q17.2(p-value = 0.04651) and Q19.1(p-value = 0.01926), however the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test shows this difference does not constitute a significant change in opinion. We do, however, see a significant shift in opinion for Q17.1 (p-value = 0.0482) in the WMW test.

We see that due to the much higher proportion of respondents from outside Africa selecting “All the time” we have a significantly higher positive response from outside Africa than from in.
Here we see a significant difference due to respondents from Africa selecting less extreme values than respondents from elsewhere.
Here respondents from Africa responded more positively on the whole, however they also had a higher proportion of “very difficult” responses.
We see no evidence of a statistically significant difference in responses between Africa and Europe.

Here respondents from Europe, North America and Asia are grouped into a “North” category, and the rest into the “South” category.
The chi square test shows no significant differences in answers to the HECC questions between Northern/Southern hemisphere regions, however there is a significant difference in question 17.1 given by the WMW test (p-value = 0.02344)

We see a signicantly more positive response to Q17.1 from Northern responents.
We now see a statistically significant (p-value = 0.03132 for chi square, p-value = 0.01587 for WMW) difference between North and South in Q17.1(In my work I am considering climate changes of more than 2 degrees C), showing a higher proportion of people in the Northern Hemisphere are considering HECC in their work “All the time” vs. “In between”.

The WMW test shows that respondents from the north more strongly disagree in 18.2 (We should wait with large-scale adaptation activities until we have more certainty about the impacts of high-end climate change) but no other questions yield statistically significant differences.

Here we have combined the 2016/18 data and we compare the differences between Europe and Africa. Due to the similarity of the responses to questions 17.1/2 in 2016 and 2018, this is a valid way to obtain a population with a large sample size comparing Africa and Europe for these questions. It could be argued that this is not valid for questions with significant differences in responses, but we include analysis of all questions here.
We see a statistically significant difference in Q17.1 (In my work I am considering climate changes of more than 2 degrees C) in both tests, with Europe considering HECC significantly more frequently than Africa

Cluster analysis aims to group data so that data points in each cluster are more similar to points in their cluster than they are to those in other clusters. The algorithm used here uses a Jaccard similarity measure to find the best clustering in a data set.
The cluster analysis finds 4 clusters, 3 (clusters 1,2,3) of which with high (>0.75) Clusterwise Jaccard bootstrap, indicating stable clusters. Clusters 2 and 3 are in strong agreement for Q18.1 and Q18.2, showing similarly negative responses, but diverging on Q18.3 with cluster 2 strongly agreeing and cluster 3 strongly disagreeing.

Note: the two plots are the same data regrouped differently, one by question, one by cluster.
Cluster 1 lean towards agreement with every statement, with few exceptions and contains 25 responses.
Cluster 2 contains 52 responses, disagrees strongly with Q18.1/2 but agrees with Q18.3
Cluster 3, containing 48 responses, almost completely disagrees with all Questions.
Cluster 4 was not a stable cluster (clusterwise Jaccard ~ 0.69) so is not particularly meaningful
In 2016 we saw two clusters, which diverged on H7 (Q18.3). Again we see that Q18.3 is the most divisive question, with clusters agreeing quite well for Q18.1, though we also see some divergence for Q17.1 and Q19.1 also.
